By now, you’re either for or against the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Every generation since the late 1980s has had an incarnation of the popular half-shell heroes, and this year marks the return of the shinobi quartet to the big screen. I’m quite keen for the reimagining, if the TMNT do sort of resemble our dear president. Last …

One night to rape, murder and assault your way through society in order to trim the fat off of the population and suffer zero consequences, is an idea that is just one mad dictator away. And an …
Rambo has to be one of my favourite guilty pleasure flicks. It’s got such a rotten story, but at the same time, it’s just so Rambo. Mindless carnage. Terrible supporting characters. Enough bullets to level Stalingrad. All of which adds up to a great film. It’s also pretty much the final Rambo movie, as the fifth film has been in limbo …
The diminutive funny man Kevin Hart (Think Like a Man, Grudge Match) may not be a big deal when it comes to physical stature, but he apparently is when it comes to the Hollywood box-office.
